PySide6 PDF Viewer

Simple PDF viewer made with PySide6. Scoured the Internet for days and finally found a way to do it so here you go. If you want one using PyQt instead of Pyside, check out my other repository.

This repository has two viewers, one based on javascript and the other using the Chromium engine that is part of Pyside6. I'll let you decide who has the better implementation.
